I was wondering. Is this:

flow.flatMapLatest {
  flow {
    emit("a")
    emit("b")
    emitAll(otherFlow())
  }
}

the same as this?

flow.transformLatest {
  emit("a")
  emit("b")
  emitAll(otherFlow())
}

They seem to do the same on paper (minus the extra flow object), however, is there anything that using

flatMapLatest

will do that

transformLatest

doesn’t? 🙂

flatMapLatest

literally calls

transformLatest

under the hood, and simply emits all items from the flow returned by the lambda. So I don't believe there is any real difference. I'd say it's mostly a matter of expressing better what the code does, and avoiding the extra flow

Oh yeah, you are right, it does. Should have checked the source 😅
